The best way to experience the size of the Solar System is to go on a "Solar System Walk". There are many around the World. Do a Google search for "Solar System Walk".
In the UK the best one is in Otford, Kent, which is the Worlds largest scale model of the Solar System, where the planets are scaled to their exact position at the turn of the century [See related link]
Another one is in Somerset, called "Space Walk" [See related link]. It doesn't show the planets in any particular position but does give their distances as you walk along the canal - and Pluto is a long long way!!
Or you could always created your own using common household objects. [See related link for all the details]
You can see a scale model of the solar system in some science museums or planetariums. These models are typically displayed outdoors with the planets and their orbits scaled down to fit within a designated space, giving visitors a sense of the vastness of our solar system.

Scale model of the solar system if the sun is 3000MM?
See related link.
Who is the author of the solar system?
The solar system was not authored by anyone. It is a natural system consisting of the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects orbiting the sun.
What website can you see the whole solar system and all of the moons?
You can see the whole solar system and its moons on NASA's Solar System Exploration website (solarsystem.nasa.gov). It provides detailed information on each planet, its moons, and various missions exploring our solar system.
What were the principle contributions of Copernicus to the developing model of the solar system?
Copernicus was the first to show, in a systematic and mathematical way, that a helio-centric solar system made astronomical observations easier to understand. Ptolemy's system worked (well, sort of) in explaining what we see, but it was incredibly complicated.
Why are planets in your solar system system hard to see?
they are very far away

What is a scientific model you can touch and see?
One example is a 3D physical model, such as a scale model of a molecule or a model of the solar system. These physical models allow for hands-on interaction and visualization of scientific concepts.
What is the town that has the solar system model within it?
A scale model of the solar system is called an "orrery". There are a number of orreries of various sizes in cities around the world.In the UK - There is one at Shoreham, another at York and a canal walk in Somerset. Possibly the worlds largest scale model covers the whole of the UK and Northern Island. [See related link]

What kind of model of the solar system has Earth at the center?
Geocentrism,See the Wikipedia article:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentrism
How do you use scale model in a sentence?
I'd like to see these plans built into a scale model.
How many constelations are there in our solar system?
There are no constellations in our solar system. All constellations you see are outside our solar system.
Can a telescope see all the stars in your solar system?
Yes. In fact your eyes can see all the stars in our Solar System. The only star in our solar system is the Sun.
Who is the author of the solar system?
The solar system was not authored by anyone. It is a natural system consisting of the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects orbiting the sun.
Is your solar system the only one in the solar system?
Yes, the solar system is the only one in our solar system. there are other solar systems many trillions of miles away. You can see their suns, these are the stars.
